Abstract (en)

The invention provides a method for producing a substantially planar surface overlying features (40) of a semiconductor structure (38). The method comprises forming alternating layers of a hard polishing material (40,48) and a soft polishing material (46,50) the features (40) of the semiconductor structure (38), and then polishing the alternating layers to form a substantially planar surface over the features (40). <IMAGE>
